Thiel 7.2's with Electrocompaniet AW-220's?


Anyone try the 7.2's with these monoblocks? I'm wondering how the combo sounds. Enough power?

I haven't tried this combination but I've had both the Thiel and Electrocompaniet separately.

I think the "sweet" sound of the EC would nicely tame the aggressive tweeters of the Thiel. Unfortunately, I don't think these amps would have enough power to drive the Thiel the way they should be driven.

I would look for powerful tube amps (e.g., a pair of BAT) or a powerful SS amp with a very smooth top end. With the right amps, the Thiel sound absolutely wonderful. With the wrong amps, the Thiel will drill holes through your ear.

Good luck
